Ok just read it and I just don’t see what is the problem. Hmmm what is the problem? O well perhaps I will look into it again when it happens again, as for now I don’t give a hoot. =)

At least the mooslims are practicing the final solution for mooslim overpopulations.

Stupid Borg Cube requires x number of smashed sacrificial death cult zombies in order to maintain equilibrium. It’s a good start. Need more. MORE!!

A perfect human sacrifice to the blood-thirsty Moon Demon.

In 1981, I had to go to the Jeddah airport to meet some official travelers. It was the hajj month and to say that it was mobbed would be an understatement. Most of the hadjis were from Africa and I doubt if any of them had been more than a chip shot from their home villages in their lives and had no idea how to behave when and where other people were involved. The sea of humanity kept going back and forth and it took me almost an hour to navigate through them to get to my guys in the arrivals hall. They were being met by yet another surging mass trying to get back to Burkina Faso, carrying booty not available in Ougadougou, like air-conditioners. A few years later they built a new airport so it is probably better now.

Stampede killed them? At least the mess will be easier to clean up than trying to match severed heads with bodies.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

If they’re all mohamedans, where’s the tragedy?

The tragedy is that they died before repenting and abandoning their demonic ideology masquerading as a religion. Let us pray for the conversion of ALL the mohammedans. Jesus saves. "Allah"??? Not so much ...

Wonder how it all looked on satellite?

Hajj means BIG money for Saudi royals. A perfect monopoly & disasters like this won’t affect it in the slightest.

There is an actual Hadith saying which promotes dying on the Hajj as being a much greater death and providing for a better life in Paradise.

06 - Dying While on the Way to Hajj It has been narrated from Aba Abdillah [Imam Ja'far Ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) that he said, "A person who dies while proceeding towards Makkah or while returning back (from Makkah) will be protected from the great distress of the Day of Resurrection."

The most deadly Hajj-related incident was a 1990 stampede in which 1,426 pilgrims were killed.

Ahh, yes. The 1990 stampede. I remember it like it was yesterday.
